Another aim is to produce a mechanism extremely simple and easy to operate and which can be produced at a moderate cost, Well-Within the range ofother kitchen utensils, facilitating the production of food in an attractive form.

Other material objects and advantages will hereinafter appear and the construction illustratedlin the accompanyingdrawings, forming a component" hereof, and in Which-:'

The device is adapted to be detachablyj l engaged on any level surfaced support, as

the table 10, and is composed'of a frame body 11 having an upright seg'menta-l' flanged face 12ofmore than'a half circle,

the same having a re-enforcing rib at the back of its periphery.

A pair of channelled arms 13'reach rear- Wardly to rest upon the surface of the support 10. and extending downwardly from the body, at the center thereof is'a bracket 14, turned rearwardly at a right angle to reach below the support and provided" With a winged clamp screw 15, carrying at itspoint a self adjusting clamp disc 16 adapted to impinge on the under surface of thesupport and hold the body rigidly in adjustment.

lMounted rigidly onthe front portion of the spindle is a hub 20 formedwvith'a-lever1 arm'21 having a manually operable handle 22 and at the back of the arm is a channelled member, 23.

Extending oppositely'froin the hub 2t) is a I combined cutter and roller 24: ofsubstantially, U-shaped crosssection, the innery shorter element 25 being spacedadjacent the corru gated face 26 of the body, to. Wipe the [outstanding .faces27, and 28 thereof.

A transverse boss 29 on the body 11 providesa bearing for one end of a spindle 30; its other end engaging inj a boss 31 extending rear ardly from the flange 12, and

the space between the bosses.

mounted on the spindle is a sleeve 32'filling Formed integrally on the sleeve is sprocket Wheel 33, adjacent the boss 29 and I engagingtheteeth of the sprocketi'o'ne at.

I r g It isto be noted that the feed elements 32,

33 and '35 areunitary and also the combined cutting,,shaping and power transmit ting elements, so that the parts of device are maintained in accurately timed relat on, two of the completed spiral products being ob tained at each turn of the handle.

7, Although I have described my improvements with considerable detail and with -respect to certain particular forms of my invention, I do not desire to belimited to such details since many changes and modifications may well be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention in its broadest aspect.v

*Having thus described my invention, what. I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A forming machine for plastic maieria c m Jr' i a r 1 L I t l 0 1s ng f ame engageable with a support, an upright segmental plate on said framehaving a corrugated face and contaming an opening, a spindle Journalled in said frame, a hub fixed on the spindle,

said hub having a hand actuable lever, and a combined cutter and roller carried by said hub to shear material passed through the mentioned opening and emboss and curl it by'passage over said corrugated plate.

2. VA, forming machine for plastic material comprising a portable frame having an up-- right plate provided iwith corrugations on the upper portion of its'front surface and c a level thickened'face therebelow containing an opening, means to expel material int-e1 mittently through the opening, ahub rotatably mounted in said frame, means for actuatingsaid hub, and means'c'arried by said hub tosever a strip of'material expelled through the vmentioned opening, said means also pressing the severed portion and rollingit against the face of said plate to emboss and curl thematerial. i

3.. A plastic mass forming machine coinprising a .plate having ia'relatively small level surface and a. 'ma1n depressedsurface provided with a matted exterior, a channel extending rearwardly from said plate in r register with an opening therein, an'arm of u shaped {cross-section journalled'in said plate to sweep the face thereof, said arm having a part to act in conjunction with the opening as a shear and another part to curl material against the plate, means to actuate said arm, andmeans over said channel'to intermittently feed material therethrough into position to be acted upon by said shear.

4. A plastic mass forming machine comprising a plate having a'relatively small level surface'and a main depressed surface provided with a matted exterior, a channel extending rearwardly from said plate in register with an opening therein, an arm of U-shaped cross-section journalledf in said plate to sweep the face thereof, to cut, roll, emboss and curl portions of material passed through the opening, feed roller disposed over said channel, and means combined with said arm to impart motion periodically to said-roller. v v I 5. A- plastic mass forming machine comprising a plate having a relatively small level surface and a main depressed portion provided with a matted surfacyia channel extending rearwardly from: said plate in register with an opening therein, an" arm. adapted to sweep circularly over said plate to. out, roll, emboss and curl materialdelivered through the opening therein, means to manually actuate said arm, a spindle rotatable transversely at the rear of said plate, a sleeve on said spindle, a feed roller-and sprocket integral with the sleeve, saidfeed being roller disposed over the channel, and

studs combined with said arm to operatively engage said sprocket intermittently.

6. Aplastic mass forming machinev comprising a frame including an upright plate, a guide channel leading to. an opening in said plate, means, for feeding material along said channel through said plate, hand operated means for shearing, rolling and curling material discharged through the plate opening, and intermittent drive connections between said hand operated means and said feed means. 7

'Z'. A plastic mass forming machine comprising a frame having an upright segmental plate containingcan opening, means for feeding material through the opening, and means on the opposite si'devof said plate to cut, roll and curl portions of the materialso fed. 7 r

8. A plastic mass forming machine comprising a frame having an upright segmental plate provided with a mat face, means to feed material through an opening in said plate i1.1ter1nittent-ly, means onwthe face of said plate to progressively separate, flatten,
